Answer:

The mass ratio of oxygen rounded to the nearest whole no. 3 : 2

Explanation:

According to Law of Multiple proportion when two elements combine to make two or more different compounds, the mass ratio of the two element in the first compound, when divided by the mass ratio of the second compound , form a simple whole number ratio.

Compound A contains 1.34 g of sulfur for every 0.86 g of oxygen

        \frac{1.34}{0.86}= 1.5

Compound B contains 11.63 g of sulfur for every 10.49 g of oxygen

      \frac{11.643}{10.49}= 1.0

Ratio of oxygen in each compound

   always put the larger number over the smaller number.

\frac{CompoundA}{Compound B}=\frac{1.5}{1.0}=\frac{3}{2}

What would cause the percent yield of a reaction to be less than 100%?
Roman55 [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

All of the limiting reagent gets used up causes the percent yield of a reaction to be less than 100%

<u>Explanation:</u>

It is rare for a chemical reaction to occur with the right proportion of reactants that reacts together to form resultant products.During this process, one of the reactants gets used up faster resulting in the lower percent yield. Such product that gets used up faster is called limiting reagent. This limiting reagent is responsible for lowering the percentage yield in the chemical reaction.

The limiting reactant can be found easily by calculating the yield of each reactant assuming they are consumed completely. The reactant which has least yield is the limiting reactant of the reaction.

Why don't solids change shape?
borishaifa [10]

Answer: B) the forces in the solid hold the atoms tightly in place

Explanation:This is because there is no room for the atoms to move around much and because they are very close together which makes the phase a solid.

The chemical equation for the reaction of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, nahco3) and vinegar (acetic acid, ch3cooh) may be wri
satela [25.4K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Step 1;  NaHCO3(s) + CH3COOH(l)

Step 2 ; CO2(g)

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The chemical equation for the reaction of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3) and vinegar (acetic acid, CH3COOH) reaction occurs in two steps.

Step 1;  

  • A double displacement reaction in which acetic acid in the vinegar reacts with sodium bicarbonate to form sodium acetate and carbonic acid:
  • Equation;

NaHCO3(s)+ CH3COOH(l) → CH3COONa(aq) + H2CO3(l)

Step 2;

  • Carbonic acid is unstable and undergoes a decomposition reaction to produce the carbon dioxide gas:

H2CO3(l) → H2O(l) + CO2(g)
